Beschreibung

A classic work of comparative mythology by acclaimed scholar Heinrich Zimmer

Drawing from Eastern and Western literatures, Heinrich Zimmer presents a selection of stories linked together by their common concern for the problem of our eternal conflict with the forces of evil. Beginning with a tale from the Arabian Nights, this theme unfolds in legends from Irish paganism, medieval Christianity, the Arthurian cycle, and early Hinduism. In retelling these tales, Zimmer discloses the meanings of their seemingly unrelated symbols and suggests the philosophical wholeness of their myths.
